Reflection

I have learned a great deal in this course. The GAME plan is a great tool to use when accomplishing goals. It really sets you up for success. You make a plan and then it helps you follow through.

Some immediate changes I have made in my class is having the students set up a google reader account and a blog. We are actually opening both tomorrow in class. I got the go ahead with the tech team to set this up. I will give weekly discussion prompts that the students will blog each week and then read and respond to other classmates. I am looking forward to seeing what this does to the classroom.

GAME plan with students

I went into school to revise my lessons to incorporate blogging, voice threads, digital story telling and put my game plan into place. I was able to write my lessons and get my rubrics written but when I tried to practice going through the lessons I found out that some of the websites are now blocked. I was unable to get on the blogging site and the voice thread site. I was able to ask the tech team to download the digital story telling software so we will see if I can get it loaded before school starts.

I think getting these items put in place will help with communication and creativity. I am so excited for my new group of juniors entering my program. I am looking forward to watching them learn using all the new tools I have in place.

GAME Progress Week 6

When it comes to progress, I feel like I have a plan set forth and have scheduled time to complete it but have not completed it yet. I am going into work on Monday and Tuesday of next week to finish this plan. My environment at home has too many distractions that I have not been able to finish.

I do not want to set any other goals yet until these are complete.
